scholes0: I don't buy the dutch account and then again the adaption is not particular to south Africa , anyone in botswana can have the same features as anyone in south Africa without having ever setted foot in SA . by that I simply mean him sseing Bantu entering in SA (modern or not?) does not negate my point don't forget we were talking about Botswana, and the same setup exist all over southern Africa (from Zambia to south Africa) 1 Like |

scholes0: The problem with your thinking process is that you think migration only happens one way ...it is very likely that Bantu moved back and forth , in fact what is the proof to those dutch that it was the first time for Bantu to come there ? No single ...please take a close look at Middle east migration-population ...you will understand that Africans first populated the middle East ,then they moved northward, before coming back as European-white hence the white look of actual middle Easterner despite their hot climates like in Africa ..in fact arabs are white/Europeans . same with Bantu and migrations in Africa ...some say the craddle of humanity is east Africa other say around Chad, what it tells us is that humans or Africans on this case have on the move since inception. Besides the Bantu migrations started 3000 B.C it is very unlikely that they didn't reach southern Africa before the arrival of the dutch here ...what you foget is that we are talking about the first reported , how do we know this wasnt the first time that they migrate? Well I don't believe, it is a fact that we are a race, you didn't give the the requirements to b considered as race. You said san and horn afrucans(whatever that means ,as there are bantu in the horn) are a race , again i ask why do they qualify to b called such ? What is race ? 1 Like |

scholes0: The women don't look San to me , maybe the girl in the middle and that's even a stretch ...the girls on the left and the right look like your average market woman in Cameroon and there are no San here ....as for the boys only the dude with the glasses with his chinko eyes same with the girls , then again I know people in Cameroon with the same chinko eyes ..I hope you know there are genetic adaptation, it very likely that Bantu dapated to their new environment |

scholes0: You don't need to mix with someone to copy his speech patterns , I will guess the Bantu find hard to communicate with khoi and they had to adapt , I mean the Bantu were in a new environment so anything to gain rapid knowledge from khoi was welcomed. They are people talking with funny white accents in Cameroon yet have never been in a plane. False Tswana are pure Bantu ....they existed before arriving to modern botswana, + there are still sans in Botswana. They don't look anything like Tswana, look please google tswana don't just make assumptions , even during their king celebration were he picks women , how many sans are among those women ? The question should b why exactly would Bantu mix with San ? |

scholes0: What I meant was if it wasn't for colonization and colonial borders which include maps, Igboland or most of Nigeria esp southern and eastern part wouldn't be considered as west Africa and we wouldn't have this conversation. Like i said earlier Cameroon under German protectorate beofre WWI included those parts . but since we were booties of war they exchanged territories to settle other territories dispute . Most of Cameroon was dismantled through such treaties that's how we lose Gabon , equatorial Guinea ,central afria and ultimately northern Nigeria . but back to the topic her similarities are only around cameroonian Bantu and it can't b the other way around because we constitute the bigger family. |

scholes0: What are negroid like features ? Is Angelina Jolie a negro with her thick lips? Is Jennifer Lopez a negro or mari careh with her thick ass ? What you call afro is scientifically called curly hair, you mean you have never seen white people with curly hair ? While they might b longer than the average africans the texture will most likey b the same especially if the African live or was born in America or Europe our hair seems harder because in Africa the climate is hot and we must retain water evaporation.but curly is curly ..africans have curly hair just like some white people . do that make them negro ? I'm not denying anything, as it didn't happen on a large scale, it is all rubbish and propaganda, Bantu saw the sans ,as primitives and uncivilized, we pushed them further in the Kalahari desert, same with pygmies , they were pushed further in the forest, till date it is a taboo to marry one , whether in Rwanda or in Cameroon ,so it is very unlikely that your mass mixing ever occurred, what you should say is X or y Bantu married a San and the had some offsprings, but blank statements like Bantu mixed with San or nilotes are blatant lies ...does the average south African look like a San ? Does zuma or thabo mbeki look like a San ? Does museveni look like a nilote ? No and no white people populated America yet not one is talking about heavily mixing with Natives , while we didn't obliterate the sans and pygmies , we only cohabited with separate communities. Just like in America you can find some white with native ancestry, but is not the norm ,it is the exception. What khoi San admixtures ? |

scholes0: Unknown as in not being able to name it accurately just like most languages all over Europe , still the languages existed therefore we are ethnic group . in my ethnic alone and in Cameroon there are already variances so you can imagine how much you can find among the whole Bantu nation. Yes this is what this thread was about but the op failed to answer , she just gave us a blank statement Bantu are cousins of west af how? If anything is the igbos that are part of the Bantu family, doesn't she find weird that her similarities are only along the cameroonian border ? Can she find the same similarities with bambara in Mali? Or senoufou in ivory coast ? I don't think so....we know already that Cameroon is the craddle of the Bantu race, however we should not focus on modern Cameroon, by all accounts it is obvious that the craddle included modern Nigerian eastern-southern part precisely. In few words eastern Nigerians are of Bantu stock and not the other way around , Bantu have nothing in common with modern west af minus the groups mentioned. Besides if it wasn't for the colonial border and Germany losing the war Cameroon was bigger |

scholes0: Term like negro race are outdated and non scientific. What is a negro ? Who is a negro? At least Caucasian directs to a known region . Again with mixed and baseless analogy , you need to stop reading white supremacists , why San or "horn Africans " qualify for being race and Bantu who are even larger and more homogenous can't? Because the white said so ? Bantu is a race because. We share the same genes , same phenotype same cultures and languages amid some small variances. Well if German is an ethnic group of ethnic Germans , then Bantu is an ethnic group of ethnic Bantu , with Bantu languages as their languages. I have already debunked the myth of Bantu mixing with San or nilotes ....some occurrences of some or few Bantu marrying, of having sex with non Bantu is not and will never be the norms ..if the Bantu heavily mixed with San or nilotes as some people loce to say they wouldn't exist anymore .period, which is not the case , Bantu san & co are rare occurrences, just like Bantu pygmies/Baka/twa , we are distinct from them, we don't look alike and dont share the values or culture. I dont know what is a guinean look maybe you can expantiate on that one , i sure do know that we in cameroon a bantu country or our neighbors, in gabon ,EG etc dont look anything like liberian, senegalese, gambian , the complexion is not even the same, |

scholes0:I can't not answer you with authority. Buy from my own researches, what I have read, and my own understanding. We used to have a same language and throughout our migrations and us absorbing other groups the language diversified. So zulu,kiswahili, Ewondo, kinyarwanda, lingala etc are Bantu languages/ dialects . Just like German & Igbo , you will agree with me that there is no central Igbo |

Ihuomadinihu: What is west African ? You call alanwemne dumb, yet you are trying to compare a linguistic group according to you and a geographical region ? Does that make sense to you ? What do bamtu share with Mauritanian or Gambian ? Who are in west Africa ? The answer is nothing . I'm q firm believer that Igbo are bantu, but this your Wes af -Bantu connection is nonsense and baseless. Igbo are isolated bantu group in west Africa(which is even subjective) . and like alanmwen said you can't compare Bantu with Igbo , you will only make a fool of yourselves . |

scholes0: And Igbo is the name of a language not so? German is not an ethnic group or a race it is a language , we can go on and in . Bantu is a race .period it is common knowledge that the name of a race is often the name of the language . your analogy doesn't make sense, if we were to follow it, then hausa ,Yoruba igbo etc are only languages 1 Like |
